What's your definition of better?  I'd think it'd have more torque and seat of pants go, but probably would get worse mileage. ???
This is not 'Nam, this is wheeling.  There are rules.

I think I get about the same milage in my Z with the 5.2 as the Z with the 4.o, if I'm highway driving. And the only thing thats been done is the exhaust. I think it would be rather juicey in a ruby.

Hey Jeff..What did you end up paying if you don't mind my asking.
I would keep it as a second vehicle personally, in case if you run into problems on the trail, at least you would have the ZJ to get you around for whatever.
If it has the AWD t-case, don't expect much for that the thing if you decide to part out, you can barely give those things away...
Get a 2" BB on there & some At's, cheap... save the miles on your daily???
oh...& have some fun with it...

I am a huge fan of having a trail rig, and a daily driver. Not one in the same. What happens when the tree jumps out at ya, and renders the trail rig inoperable? you get it home, and do all your running around in the DD.

just my $0.02
